    I've been getting that spam for body parts I don't have for over a decade. I also get them for Christian dating (guess they don't know I'm not Christian or nor single). Also get them for senior dating… Sorry I already have a "senior date."

    Facebook keeps suggesting my oncologist as a friend. (Not sure if she'd be too happy about facebook suggesting patients friend her). Will admit those red booties from Zappos ad on facebook initially were interesting but now after seeing them for about a month… not so much.

    Lago it is freezing out there. I just got hat and gloves for Sunday. I am wearing hot pink compression socks for all of your girls with my cute black skirt. So look for me in hot pink leg warmers as I run by :))))) Only 2 more days.....

    Hopefully it won't be too windy. I plan on waving black balloons. You might see a sign with your name on it. Depends if I get my sh*t together.

    Is there a map of the route somewhere?

    Isn't it funny how 50 feels so cold in the fall but really nice in the spring. 

    Lago~ I heard the route is on the CBS-2 website.

    camille~ thanks, as always for the laughs!

    Good luck to our Illinois Ladies marathoners this weekend!!!Smile

    OK now who's all running tomorrow. PM me so I can go out and watch. I'm not staying out the entire time but since I'm just a building away from the course (Fullerton & Clark) I'll make sure I'm there when you're there if you let me track you. I'll be out there with black balloons so look for me.

    Hugs BJ and good luck to you and everyone.  Hi as well to the watchers.  Hope it is a great day all around.

    C-squared....what you said !!!!  50 or less does feel colder this time of yr.  About what it is here and since it is rain that brought it along it really feels totally un-inviting.  Very un-like the same temp. on a day with even a little sun and not too much moisture.  Yikes....hate to think of what is coming as I feel quite un-ready after another somewhat non-summer. 

    Looking forward to getting some production done anyway this week-end.  See you all later.

    Hugs, Jackie

    Good luck BJ and other runners.  It is going to be chily.  This is the first year in so many my dd is not running and she misses the whole thing. Run, BJ, Run !

    Oh my!  I take a couple days off, and lago whips out the hooters!!  Way to set the reconstruction bar high (and perky!)  Laughing

    HeidiD - tell everyone to bug off, it's your body, your choice.  If they won't back down, tell them the voices in your head voted and the 'Nays' won 8 to 5!  Or the aliens that abducted you told you not to, or just say Thank You and walk away.

    A lady I work with explained to me that her dad said chemo was a waste of time, and then he passed away...   I'm not sure if she got the stupidity in that reasoning.  

    Good luck to the runners!  At least it won't be 90 this year.

    3 down, 13 to go

    I'm waiting for the 10K warning on my iphone. I think that's around Cannon Drive & Diversey. I'm just before the 15K at Fullerton and Clark.

    My Friend Irina just hit 10K. She's younger & taller than Corrinne or Michele

    Thanks about the picture --- the rose was a "summer" picture.....the kitty is not seasonal.  Happy Sunday to all.  Hope you have a truly wonderful day.

    Just saw my friend Irina about 30 minutes ago and got the 10K warning for both Corinne & Michele. Going back out there. It's chilly
